      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated compute-optimized virtual server featuring high-frequency processors and balanced memory bandwidth for sustained multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc7.8xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8369HB processor running at 3.3 GHz. Built on the KVM hypervisor with an x86_64 architecture, this instance offers a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, making it highly suitable for compute-heavy workloads. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show a PassMark CPU score of 31763.08, a Redis SET throughput of 31.19 million operations per second, and a static web serving throughput of 23.9 GB/sec. The instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for sustained processing tasks, though the absence of local storage requires network-attached alternatives. It is best suited for software compilation, web serving, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      1.5Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
